opam: Display detailed information about a package.
$ opam show ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "opam show ${package_name}" is used with the opam package manager in the OCaml programming language.
Here's how it works:
- "opam" is the command line tool for managing OCaml packages.
- "show" is the subcommand that provides information about a specific package.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the package you want to get information about.
When you run this command, opam will retrieve information about the specified package and display it on the screen. This information typically includes the package's name, version, dependencies, and other metadata. It can be helpful for learning more about a package, checking its compatibility with your project, or exploring its documentation.
